Pete Crow-Armstrong was always known for his glove, and now, he’s showing it at the big league level.
The former Mets prospect and current Cubs outfielder was called up earlier this week and is already playing some Gold Glove defense for Chicago, especially in two catches he made Tuesday night in a 6-4 loss to the Rockies.
In his first big league start, the 21-year-old batted eighth and patrolled center field for the Cubs, making an impression immediately in the first inning against the Rockies. Colorado slugger Nolan Jones ripped a deep fly ball off Cubs starter Javier Assad that kept carrying to the deep expanses of Coors Field, but Crow-Armstrong was undeterred and made a leaping catch before crashing into the center field fence, hanging onto the ball.With one out in the sixth, Jones took a pitch from reliever Daniel Palencia and crushed a high fly ball into the right-center field gap that appeared as if it might drop in front of the warning track.
